- Is it warm enough for below-freezing weather?
- Yes for typical winter commutes, especially with a sweater underneath. The synthetic fill and long cut trap heat well, but it is not a mountaineering parka.
- Does it run true to size?
- It runs loose. Many owners size down one step for a closer fit; keep your usual size if you plan to layer thick sweaters.
- Is it actually waterproof?
- The Omni-Tech shell is waterproof and seam-sealed, so it handles rain and wet snow. Prolonged heavy rain can still soak through seams over time.
- Can I ski in it?
- It works for mild resort days, but it lacks a powder skirt, wrist gaiters and venting. A dedicated ski jacket is better for serious skiing.
- How should I care for it?
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softener, which can reduce the water repellency.
- Does the hood come off?
- The hood is attached and trimmed with faux fur. The fur trim is removable on most versions.
